##### Usage notes

Nōn velle is used in place of nōlle in the second person present indicative active forms and the third person singular present indicative active.

##### Conjugation

Its present infinitive, velle, descends from the athematic infinitive form Proto-Italic *wel-zi (*-zi being the source of the usual infinitive ending -re as well). The second person singular present form vīs is suppletive and belongs to the root Proto-Indo-European *weyh₁- (“to strive after, pursue”); the original form appears to be preserved as the conjunction vel (from Proto-Italic *wel-s).
